Part 2: Headlines
A/N: Hello! This chapter will be quite steamy, so LEMON alert. Sesshy and Kagura will be pretty OOC, but I had fun writing this, and hope you do too reading it.
Disclaimer: Sadly even though I love writing AU stories on my OTP, they don't belong to me. I tried to buy them, but all I could afford were plushies. Oh well better than nothing lol.
“Talking”
'Thoughts'
“Ugh this is going to be a long night...” Kagura muttered as she wasted no time walking towards the mini bar and reached for a small bottle of vodka.
“It surely will be if you already start drinking. Let me warn you that I will not hold your hair while you empty your stomach over the toilet tomorrow morning, nor will I give you aspirin to fight off your hangover.” He spoke observing her from his bed.
“Pfft! I may look petite, but I can hold my liquor; besides there’s not enough alcohol in this tiny mini bar to get me drunk. Trust Naraku for putting us in a small hotel which doesn’t offer quality beverages to their customers.” Kagura snorted as she closed the minibar and laid on her bed.
“There is tea…” Sesshoumaru trailed off as he pointed towards a small side table where a hot water kettle was placed next to a teabags and cups.
“Not strong enough. I could go for an Irish coffee right now though.” She answered thoughtfully.
“It is late. We have an assignment early tomorrow morning, so you better get some rest.” He instructed while he finished folding his clothes inside the closet.
“Huh you could suck the fun out of anything. Fine I got it.” Kagura sighed as she opened her bag and reached for her sleeping wear before heading towards the adjacent bathroom. “You better no peak.” She threw over her shoulder before slamming the door close.
“She definitely is a witch.” Sesshoumaru muttered to himself as he turned on the TV to watch the late night newscast. He was sure the two nights he was to spend in her company were going to be torture…
000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
“I’m done. You can go ahead and change if you want.” Kagura told her coworker as she stepped out of the bathroom, tying up her hair, not in its usual stern and constrictive bun, but in a side ponytail.
“What in the hell are you wearing?” Sesshoumaru gasped in surprise as he looked up from the TV screen to the woman he was to share a room with. He almost cursed himself for declaring his surprise in such a way.
“One would think someone as smart as you would realize it’s a nightgown. I get very hot at night... besides I only brought something comfortable because I didn’t think anyone would get to see me as I inferred I’d be getting my own hotel room.” She offered as an explanation before walking towards the silver haired man. A cruel light in her eyes, she stopped in front of him and after bending slightly forward asked “Why am I making you feel uncomfortable Mr. Tashio?”
“Hardly Miss Jiyuu.” He retorted, averting his gaze from her, favoring the safety of the TV. In fact the way her very short baby doll gown made of an almost transparent red material hugged her curves was a lot to handle for even a man as reserved and composed as Sesshoumaru was. He could not help but wonder if she truly found the sexy getup comfortable, or if she truly merely wished to torture him. Strangely he was favoring the second option.
Letting out a small chuckle as she noticed Sesshoumaru’s clear discomfort, Kagura walked towards her bed, swaying her hips suggestively. “I’m bored. Why don’t we play a little game?” She offered as she plopped down on the soft covers. She crossed her legs, causing her gown to ride a little higher on her creamy thighs.
“Did we not agree to go to bed early?” He asked after turning off the TV set. He hoped appearing to be busy would make the younger woman believe that he had not been dumbly ogling her naked legs.
“Come on, it won’t take long.” She purred gently, trying to coax him into accepting.
“What do you want to play?” He regretted having agreed so easily when he noticed the mischievous smile etched on her unpainted lips.
‘I believe it’s the first time I see her void of makeup. I’m surprised to see she does not look any less pretty…’ The male journalist cursed himself for letting his mind wander around when he was engaging in a ‘battle’ with Kagura. ‘I may not know what she’s planning, but I’m sure it will be something based on the way she is grinning.’
“Truth or dare?” She asked unable to keep the amusement off her face.
“You must be kidding? I have better things to do than play a child’s games.” He retorted, getting to his feet to reach for his pajamas, the last of the items which had been neatly folded in his small suitcase.
“Oh could it be that the almighty Sesshoumaru-sama is afraid of being bested by little old me in a game for kids?” She teased him, knowing by the irritation clear in his deep golden eyes that she had gotten to him. She knew all too well that her bait would get the desired effect; there was nothing Sesshoumaru valued more than his pride.
“Do not presume to mock this one and be able to get away with it.” Was the last warning he gave her before he sat back on his bed, opposite Kagura. For a long time the two of them stayed silent, simply staring at each other.
“Well ladies first, so I guess I’ll start. Truth or dare?” She asked her coworker despite the annoyance she could still see clearly face.
“We are just playing once.” He said trying to determine the rules to their agreements before even starting the game.
“Three times.” The young woman tried bargaining. ‘Why is he trying to cut down our fun time? Is he that afraid of me?’ She wondered smiling in anticipation. For some reason she simply loved pushing Sesshoumaru’s buttons, but to her disappointment she had never seen him lose his temper… yet.
“Two.” He conceded. “Truth.”
“Okay. Tell me Sesshoumaru whatever happened in your life to make you so anal?” She asked him as seriously as she would have asked any question during an interview for her magazine.
“I have the most annoying coworkers. My turn then. Kagura truth or dare?” He asked her, hoping she would pick the former so he could ask a question that had been weighing on his mind for the entire time he had been working at Shikon Magazine.
“You didn’t even answer the question, and to think that earlier I told you my biggest secret. You should tell me something not many people know about you.” She said remembering her confession about the origin of her fear of flying.
‘Hum was hers not an involuntary admission?’He asked himself. ‘Though it is true that she opened up to me… maybe I could return the favor.’
“My mother was killed in a traffic accident on my eighth birthday. Once again truth or dare. Make your choice.”
‘That explains why he hasn’t tried to comfort me dumbly. He went through the same type of hurtful experience.’ Kagura thought, newly found compassion in her heart going towards Sesshoumaru.
“I’ll follow you and go with truth.” She answered him. She could easily tell that Sesshoumaru was glad she had not tried to discuss his revelation. She had only done so to extend the same courtesy he had given her earlier in the night.
“Why do you hate your father so much?” The silver haired man asked his coworker.
“Answering this one could take the whole night. Long story short, Naraku is a bastard and he’s only my father biologically speaking. I was raised by my aunt.” The revelation brought back painful memories to Kagura's mind, which made her heart feel heavy.
'Hmpf to think that I took on a job at Shikon Magazine only because I wanted to impress Naraku and have some sort of relationship with him. Despite all these years I'm still not there. Guess I should stop it. Why am I even thinking about this now? I should get back to trying to squeeze some information out of the ice block.' The young woman thought twirling a strand of her dark hair around one of her fingers.
Kagura then thoughtfully observed Sesshoumaru and thought. 'I never thought I'd one day hang out with Sesshoumaru and have fun with him like this. Not to mention that I've always found him quite of cute... get a grip Kagura! That is such a dangerous path to go towards! What’s wrong with me? Where are all those crazy thoughts about how hot Sesshoumaru is coming from?!…' Even as she tried curbing her thoughts, her gaze lowered to look at Sesshoumaru’s lips. Before she knew it, she was licking her lower lip.
“Why? How come you did not have a relationship with your father?” Sesshoumaru asked her, his curiosity picked.
“Not answering this one. You only get one question at the time. It’s my turn now. So truth or dare?” She asked him, a playful glint back in her eyes, replacing her earlier lustful feelings.
“Truth.” He answered resisting the urge to groan.
“Come on it’s the last round, be a little daring.” She teased him, rolling her eyes.
“Fine. Dare.” He sighed. ‘I feel as if I am back in middle school.’ He thought in annoyance. ‘I am sure the witch is planning something, but I know not what.’
“Kiss me.” She breathed out, shocking Sesshoumaru, and surprising herself.
“You are drunk.” He tried dismissing her words even if they had made his heart jump in anticipation and pleasure.
“Heck no. That little vodka didn’t even make me feel any buzz.” She protested. Drinking had helped lower her inhibitions, and now that she had the idea of Sesshoumaru working his lips against hers, there was nothing she wanted more than tasting him.
“Come on don’t tell me you’ve never wondered how'd be between us. We’re on location, no one knows us here. Plus no one back home will know, so you can admit it.” Following her words Sesshoumaru sent her a nasty glare, to which she answered by simply chuckling.
“Fine fine. If you don’t follow up on the dare, then you’ve got to pick truth.” She caved in, still not giving up on her previous idea. She did know that she had exaggerated about her sobriety earlier on. ‘I can’t help but think that had I not downed all that alcohol, I never would have been brave enough to make such a suggestion to Sesshoumaru… as delectable as it might be.’
The more she thought about it, and the more she liked her idea of having a one night stand with Sesshoumaru.
'It started off as teasing as I really wanted to make him feel uncomfortable, but spending a night with Sesshoumaru, no strings attached, that could be fun.. I haven’t been with a man in… I don’t know how long, and who else better than Sesshoumaru to have a night of pure fun with? It’s not like we could ever fall in love...' The young woman thought tilting her head to the side in what she knew was a seductive posture. She puffed up her chest, giving the young man a view of the plunging neckline of her sheer sleeping gown. She then uncrossed her legs, and sat back on the bed, arching her back and emphasizing her curves.
“You are so childish.” He muttered, just as his eyes locked on her delectable lips. ‘Something tells me if I don’t give in she won’t let me get any sleep.’
“Fine truth then.” He breathed out sure he would regret his decision. Although he felt it was a better alternative to giving in and kissing her. Ever since she had dared him to, his mind could not help but wander to the possibility. How would her lips taste, would they be soft? Would they still taste like the strawberry lips gloss she had worn earlier in the day.
“Have you ever fantasized about me?” She murmured seductively.
“Kagura.” He warned her.
“What? Come on it’s just a harmless question. Answer it.” She gently moistened her lower lips by running her tongue over it. She grinned when she saw his golden eyes follow the movement of her tongue avidly.
“I will not answer this ridiculous question.” He sighed. By sheer will, he averted his gaze from the temptress to the white wall behind her. Unfortunately for him not looking at Kagura was not helping calm down the boiling hot sensation running throughout his body.
“I guess that’s a yes. You know I’ve been thinking. I’m gorgeous, you’re kind of hot, and we’re both stuck in the same hotel room for the weekend…” She trailed off seductively.
“Whatever happened to the witch who could not stand a demon such as myself?” He asked. He purposely employed the hated nickname she had come up with for him, hoping to put the usual distance between them, but it was not working. He could tell where her words were getting to, and it made something stir inside of him.
“Well the poor witch realized she hasn’t slept with a man in more than three years, and that her last boyfriend got married.” Kagura admitted, her bright red eyes moving away from Sesshoumaru. She was not sure how he would react to her words, and feared seeing pity. ‘I can’t believe I actually told him of all people about my sex life… or rather lack of. Maybe downing that vodka wasn’t such a good idea after all.’ Even if she had denied it earlier, Kagura could feel her previous inhibitions had been thrown out the door, and was pretty certain the alcohol had had something to do with it.
“Am I supposed to be some sort of belated rebound guy?” He raised an eyebrow in surprise.
“Nope you’re a one night stand; it’s different.” She could not help but correct him.
“You do realize it will complicate everything between us?” He said more to himself than her. Now that the possibility was presented to him, even though he knew he probably should not, he desired Kagura. He wanted her like he had never wanted a woman in his life before.
“So what? Not like our relationship is that nice and professional to begin with.”
“So be it.” He growled just as he launched himself towards her. He managed to get to her quickly as she was unprepared, his lips fastened to hers catching her gasp of surprise.
It however took her no time to recover as she gave into the feeling of his warm lips working against hers. Feeling his moist tongue travel her lower lip she gave in and opened her mouth, accepting his deep kiss.
Despite his earlier uncertainty and protest, Sesshoumaru decided that if he was to be with Kagura, he would enjoy it greatly and make it as unforgettable as he could for the both of them.
‘It after all is only one night together, nothing more…’ He thought to himself as he entwined his tongue with hers. Ignoring the feeling of sadness growing inside him, he decided to focus on the woman in his arms. Not one to waste time, Sesshoumaru pushed Kagura back until she was sprawled on the bed, him hovering over her. She was impressed that he had managed to do so without breaking up their deep kiss.
Wanting some much needed air, the young man broke their lip lock. Kagura breathed deeply before pressing gentle kisses all over his neck. He trailed his hand down her curves, took the time to appreciatively cup her right breast giving it a firm squeeze, promising himself to come back to it before going down the length of her legs and thighs. He raised an eyebrow when to his delight his roaming fingers came upon a surprise; she was not wearing any underwear.
“You really are a witch.” He growled against the skin of her neck after he bent down to give her skin a small punitive bite. He repressed a groan when he remembered that she had shamelessly bent and uncrossed her legs in front of him earlier.
“I told you I get warm at night.” She moaned when his fingers gently brushed against the sensitive skin of her womanhood. He applied pressure on the skin of her inner thigh, and she dutifully parted her legs for him, granting his fingers access to the most sensitive part of her. She bit her lower lip to force back a cry when he mercilessly started toying with her hidden jewel. Once she moistened enough, he gently inserted two fingers into her, causing a gasp of pleasure to escape her throat. He gathered she was close when she let out a loud keen cry, and he smirked evilly.
“No not yet.” He chastised her as he quickly removed his two fingers from her warm channel. He had felt the first tremors of her orgasm, and did not want her to reach it yet. In fact he only wanted her to climax at the same time he would, with him buried deep inside her. He ignored the pain in his shoulder where she had dug her sharp nails, and did not deviate from his course.
“You are a demon!” She seethed disappointed and starving for her release. She had not been with a man for a long time, and being denied what she wanted the most at the moment felt like torture. Being as close to it as she had just been did not help matters either.
He ignored her outburst, and as much as he hated the idea to sever their skin to skin connection, he briefly leaned away from her in order to slip off his shirt. Being greeted by the naked skin of his chest, Kagura wasted no time returning his earlier caresses by pressing little kisses over the pale skin presented to her gaze. He growled softly when she gently bit one of his nipples. He was aware neither of them would be able to achieve the great pleasure they wanted, so decided to move things along. Reluctantly he sat up on his knees.
Once she felt Sesshoumaru get away from her, Kagura decided to turn the tables on him. She would be damned if she let her arrogant co-worker leave her to suffer of burning desire alone. As his hand plunged in the back pocket of his pants in search of something, the young woman sitting between his legs unbuttoned his pants and went looking for something to play with. Just as he was going to reach for his wallet where he knew he could find a condom, a delightful feeling started running through him; the reason being Kagura’s warm hand which was now attached to his length. The young woman smiled gently when she noticed that his usually cold eyes looked slightly unfocused. Since he hid it well, only someone who knew the silver haired man as much as she did would realize how affected he was. Seeing the great effect she had on him made her increase the steady pace she worked him with her soft hand. After all one was not able to be in control of the almighty Sesshoumaru Tashio very often.
Just when she felt him trembling under her hand, Kagura relinquished the hold she had on him, stopping her gentle caresses. The action caused her soon to be lover to send her a murderous glare.
‘Ah so he doesn’t like having a taste of his own medicine…’ She thought gleefully not even bothering to mask her clear pleasure. Instead of bothering arguing with Kagura due to her annoying behavior, Sesshoumaru removed his pants and underwear. He had moved so quickly that for a second she wondered if he truly had some youkai blood in him.
After placing on the protection, he laid his larger body over hers, placing himself in between her splayed legs. She was surprised that he had not taken the time to remove her nightgown, but decided not to complain. So far he had done a marvelous job pleasuring her, and she had no reason to doubt he would again. She gently pushed away some of his long silver hair out of his face to reveal his beautiful visage. She then raised her head to press a kiss to his lips, which he returned eagerly.
Once their lips parted, the first thing Sesshoumaru did was to press a kiss to her left breast while his left hand reached up to gently massage her other mound. The fact that she could only feel his soft lips and gentle touches through the material of her gown only made the whole thing more erotic to her.
Eager to get some much needed relief he decided to skip directly to the main event. Since she had admitted how long it had been since she had last been with a man, he buried himself slowly and carefully inside her. The last thing he wanted was to hurt her in any ways.
“Hum Sesshoumaru.” She moaned softly once he was fully sheathed inside her. She reached up to grab a fistful of his long silver locks bringing his face closer to hers for a deep kiss. Without separating their lips, he started thrusting. Slowly, then faster. Not willing to lie there like a piece of dead wood while he made love to her, she raised her legs, and fastened them around his waist. She followed his movements and raised her hips to meet his thrusts.
Willing to show her how appreciative he was of her help, he started moving even faster. He reached down to press kisses against the soft skin of her throat, causing delicious shivers to run down her spine. She had never realized until now how sensitive this part of her body was. He then gently trailed his hand up her leg before stopping at the juncture of her thighs where his fingers went to toy with her hidden jewel.
He had barely touched her pleasure button that she shuddered violently with pleasure. She was slightly embarrassed to see how quickly she had climaxed, but since she could feel a proud smirk developing on his lips against the skin of her neck, she was sure he didn’t mind. It didn’t take him long to join her in bliss now that he was free to focus on his own pleasure. She felt him stiffen over her, and removed her legs from his hips.
After taking the time to place a lingering soft kiss to Kagura’s swollen lips, Sesshoumaru left her warmth, causing a pleasurable shiver to run through her again. He quickly stepped off the bed and into the adjacent bathroom they were supposed to be sharing. She heard him flush the toilet and guessed he had went to discard the condom they had used.
She did not say a word when he reappeared in all his naked glory, not even seemingly minding being completely unclothed, or that the lights were all on. Despite her best efforts she could not help but observe him hungrily.
“So… three years?” His words were enough to bring a bright red blush to her cheeks. She picked a small pillow from the pile placed at the head of the bed, and buried her head in it before groaning loudly in frustration. After venting her emotions, she pushed the soft cushion away. She would be damned before she let him embarrass her; especially after what they had shared.
“I knew I shouldn’t have told you anything you jerk!” Even as she tried putting her tough façade back on, she could feel her insides crumbling. Her old insecurities were coming back with a vengeance, and she could not help but wonder if she had somehow failed to please her co-worker. After Kouga had cheated on her with Ayame, she had done some soul searching, and wondered for a long time what was wrong with her. She had come to the conclusion that she must have failed to pleasure him in bed.
He observed her thoughtfully, his golden eyes causing her to be even move unnerved. She was about to snap at him as she usually did, but he intervened before she did.
“Kouga is a fool.” Sesshoumaru’s simple declaration brought a small smile to appear on her lips. She was touched when her new lover handed her a moist warm towel; none of the men she had ever been with had been this thoughtful. She quickly cleaned herself then tossed it to the side.
He settled back on the small bed next to her. He figured it was a good thing that Kagura was this thin otherwise they would definitely not have been able to fit together on the bed, which was of course intended for one person. Even now it was impossible for the two of them to lie down without having skin contact, not that either of them minded much.
He then placed his arm over his sweaty forehead, trying to clear his mind from the unusual feelings raging inside him. He really had never thought he one day would be sharing a bed with Kagura, and had not expected to enjoy it this much.
“We do have a problem.”
“Oh here we go! You don't even have your strength back and you're going to give me the 'it was a mistake speech'?” She frowned at him, hurt and anger clear in her voice. She tried to push herself as far away from him as the small bed allowed.
“Do not be foolish.” He extended his arm to seize her and bring her closer to his side. “Before taking a decision this Sesshoumaru always thinks. This is why I never regret anything I do. No, the problem I was referring to was that I only had my emergency condom on me. I had no idea our trip would develop in such a way.”
‘Had I known I certainly would have bought an entire box…or maybe two.’ He thought to himself. Even though he had mocked Kagura earlier for the long dry spell she had just gone through, he himself had not shared his bed with anyone in a while. Sesshoumaru had always been very mindful and discerning of who he chose as a lover. The woman had to fulfill two important criteria: she must not develop any feelings towards him as he had no need of it, and the woman had not to be an impediment to his career. He frowned when he realized that Kagura did not pass the second criteria. What upset him the most was the fact that he did not care that she was so wrong for him.
“Emergency?” She echoed. “I was an emergency? I don't know if I should be amused, offended, or proud.” Despite her words a note of pleasure was clearly discernable in her voice.
“If I were you I would go for the latest. Not many women have been in my arms.” He observed as he turned to his side to look at the woman lying next to him. He could not help himself from tenderly running a hand down her curves. He possessively rested his limb on her hip, still enclosed by her red gown. His golden eyes roamed over her, taking in the delicious sight as he promised himself that the next time he made love to her, and there would be one, he would make sure to finish undressing her. He did want to see her completely naked.
“Lucky me.” She scoffed, even if she could feel a warm fluttering in her chest. She was all too aware that he was being honest. In truth she had seen many women, notably their coworkers Touran and Yura, regularly throw themselves at Sesshoumaru, only to be ignored.
To Kagura's surprise, Sesshoumaru suddenly stood up and reached for the clothes he had carelessly thrown to the ground before getting in bed with her.
“Where are you going?” She asked him her crimson eyes following him as he put his shoes on. Seeing him dressed made her feel self conscious, so she hiked the bed covers up to hide her semi nudity.
He took the time to fasten his shirt completely before answering her “I saw a pharmacy when we were on our way to the hotel. It is just a few minutes away and I think that it was open 24 hours a day.”
“What could you possibly want to buy at this time of the night?...” She asked him. As soon as the words left her mouth, she could have smacked herself. 'Duh as if he hasn't just told you. Get a grip girl.' She scolded herself. Her cheeks had suddenly flamed red.
“Don't fall asleep yet.” He simply threw over his shoulder as he left their bedroom.
“I guess the night is far from over.” The young journalist smiled to herself as she gently smoothed the hair which had escaped from her bun back in place, eagerly waiting for her new lover to come back.
0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 00000000000000000
As Sesshoumaru walked back to their hotel room, the object of his errand cradled in his arms, he could not prevent a smile from appearing on his lips. As much as he had never expected to become Kagura’s lover, the one thing which surprised him the most was that he had tremendously enjoyed himself with her, more than he would probably ever admit it to the young woman. While he was out, his brain actively worked on coming up with a way for them to carry out their little affair even after they had gone back to their lives at Shikon Magazine.
‘I fail to see why we would not be able to work and play at the same time.’ His joyful mood was soon to turn sour when he was greeted in their bedroom by a deeply sleeping, and slightly snoring Kagura. She was sprawled over the bed, one of her bare breasts peeking from under her twisted nightgown.
“You insufferable little witch.” He muttered to himself even if a smile appeared on his lips. Instead of waking her up, the young man dressed in his pajamas then carefully pushed her slightly to make himself some space. He lay down next to her, and slid under the covers.
Even as in her sleep she unconsciously rearranged herself around his body, placing her head on his shoulder, and entwining her legs with his, he reflected on their situation.
‘Let’s just hope she doesn’t turn into a raving madwoman when she sobers up tomorrow…’
To be continued…

“Talking”
'Thoughts'
“Ugh this is going to be a long night...” Kagura muttered as she wasted no time walking towards the mini bar and reached for a small bottle of vodka.
“It surely will be if you already start drinking. Let me warn you that I will not hold your hair while you empty your stomach over the toilet tomorrow morning, nor will I give you aspirin to fight off your hangover.” He spoke observing her from his bed.
“Pfft! I may look petite, but I can hold my liquor; besides there’s not enough alcohol in this tiny mini bar to get me drunk. Trust Naraku for putting us in a small hotel which doesn’t offer quality beverages to their customers.” Kagura snorted as she closed the minibar and laid on her bed.
“There is tea…” Sesshoumaru trailed off as he pointed towards a small side table where a hot water kettle was placed next to a teabags and cups.
“Not strong enough. I could go for an Irish coffee right now though.” She answered thoughtfully.
“It is late. We have an assignment early tomorrow morning, so you better get some rest.” He instructed while he finished folding his clothes inside the closet.
“Huh you could suck the fun out of anything. Fine I got it.” Kagura sighed as she opened her bag and reached for her sleeping wear before heading towards the adjacent bathroom. “You better no peak.” She threw over her shoulder before slamming the door close.
“She definitely is a witch.” Sesshoumaru muttered to himself as he turned on the TV to watch the late night newscast. He was sure the two nights he was to spend in her company were going to be torture…
000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
“I’m done. You can go ahead and change if you want.” Kagura told her coworker as she stepped out of the bathroom, tying up her hair, not in its usual stern and constrictive bun, but in a side ponytail.
“What in the hell are you wearing?” Sesshoumaru gasped in surprise as he looked up from the TV screen to the woman he was to share a room with. He almost cursed himself for declaring his surprise in such a way.
“One would think someone as smart as you would realize it’s a nightgown. I get very hot at night... besides I only brought something comfortable because I didn’t think anyone would get to see me as I inferred I’d be getting my own hotel room.” She offered as an explanation before walking towards the silver haired man. A cruel light in her eyes, she stopped in front of him and after bending slightly forward asked “Why am I making you feel uncomfortable Mr. Tashio?”
“Hardly Miss Jiyuu.” He retorted, averting his gaze from her, favoring the safety of the TV. In fact the way her very short baby doll gown made of an almost transparent red material hugged her curves was a lot to handle for even a man as reserved and composed as Sesshoumaru was. He could not help but wonder if she truly found the sexy getup comfortable, or if she truly merely wished to torture him. Strangely he was favoring the second option.
Letting out a small chuckle as she noticed Sesshoumaru’s clear discomfort, Kagura walked towards her bed, swaying her hips suggestively. “I’m bored. Why don’t we play a little game?” She offered as she plopped down on the soft covers. She crossed her legs, causing her gown to ride a little higher on her creamy thighs.
“Did we not agree to go to bed early?” He asked after turning off the TV set. He hoped appearing to be busy would make the younger woman believe that he had not been dumbly ogling her naked legs.
“Come on, it won’t take long.” She purred gently, trying to coax him into accepting.
“What do you want to play?” He regretted having agreed so easily when he noticed the mischievous smile etched on her unpainted lips.
‘I believe it’s the first time I see her void of makeup. I’m surprised to see she does not look any less pretty…’ The male journalist cursed himself for letting his mind wander around when he was engaging in a ‘battle’ with Kagura. ‘I may not know what she’s planning, but I’m sure it will be something based on the way she is grinning.’
“Truth or dare?” She asked unable to keep the amusement off her face.
“You must be kidding? I have better things to do than play a child’s games.” He retorted, getting to his feet to reach for his pajamas, the last of the items which had been neatly folded in his small suitcase.
“Oh could it be that the almighty Sesshoumaru-sama is afraid of being bested by little old me in a game for kids?” She teased him, knowing by the irritation clear in his deep golden eyes that she had gotten to him. She knew all too well that her bait would get the desired effect; there was nothing Sesshoumaru valued more than his pride.
“Do not presume to mock this one and be able to get away with it.” Was the last warning he gave her before he sat back on his bed, opposite Kagura. For a long time the two of them stayed silent, simply staring at each other.
“Well ladies first, so I guess I’ll start. Truth or dare?” She asked her coworker despite the annoyance she could still see clearly face.
“We are just playing once.” He said trying to determine the rules to their agreements before even starting the game.
“Three times.” The young woman tried bargaining. ‘Why is he trying to cut down our fun time? Is he that afraid of me?’ She wondered smiling in anticipation. For some reason she simply loved pushing Sesshoumaru’s buttons, but to her disappointment she had never seen him lose his temper… yet.
“Two.” He conceded. “Truth.”
“Okay. Tell me Sesshoumaru whatever happened in your life to make you so anal?” She asked him as seriously as she would have asked any question during an interview for her magazine.
“I have the most annoying coworkers. My turn then. Kagura truth or dare?” He asked her, hoping she would pick the former so he could ask a question that had been weighing on his mind for the entire time he had been working at Shikon Magazine.
“You didn’t even answer the question, and to think that earlier I told you my biggest secret. You should tell me something not many people know about you.” She said remembering her confession about the origin of her fear of flying.
‘Hum was hers not an involuntary admission?’He asked himself. ‘Though it is true that she opened up to me… maybe I could return the favor.’
“My mother was killed in a traffic accident on my eighth birthday. Once again truth or dare. Make your choice.”
‘That explains why he hasn’t tried to comfort me dumbly. He went through the same type of hurtful experience.’ Kagura thought, newly found compassion in her heart going towards Sesshoumaru.
“I’ll follow you and go with truth.” She answered him. She could easily tell that Sesshoumaru was glad she had not tried to discuss his revelation. She had only done so to extend the same courtesy he had given her earlier in the night.
“Why do you hate your father so much?” The silver haired man asked his coworker.
“Answering this one could take the whole night. Long story short, Naraku is a bastard and he’s only my father biologically speaking. I was raised by my aunt.” The revelation brought back painful memories to Kagura's mind, which made her heart feel heavy.
'Hmpf to think that I took on a job at Shikon Magazine only because I wanted to impress Naraku and have some sort of relationship with him. Despite all these years I'm still not there. Guess I should stop it. Why am I even thinking about this now? I should get back to trying to squeeze some information out of the ice block.' The young woman thought twirling a strand of her dark hair around one of her fingers.
Kagura then thoughtfully observed Sesshoumaru and thought. 'I never thought I'd one day hang out with Sesshoumaru and have fun with him like this. Not to mention that I've always found him quite of cute... get a grip Kagura! That is such a dangerous path to go towards! What’s wrong with me? Where are all those crazy thoughts about how hot Sesshoumaru is coming from?!…' Even as she tried curbing her thoughts, her gaze lowered to look at Sesshoumaru’s lips. Before she knew it, she was licking her lower lip.
“Why? How come you did not have a relationship with your father?” Sesshoumaru asked her, his curiosity picked.
“Not answering this one. You only get one question at the time. It’s my turn now. So truth or dare?” She asked him, a playful glint back in her eyes, replacing her earlier lustful feelings.
“Truth.” He answered resisting the urge to groan.
“Come on it’s the last round, be a little daring.” She teased him, rolling her eyes.
“Fine. Dare.” He sighed. ‘I feel as if I am back in middle school.’ He thought in annoyance. ‘I am sure the witch is planning something, but I know not what.’
“Kiss me.” She breathed out, shocking Sesshoumaru, and surprising herself.
“You are drunk.” He tried dismissing her words even if they had made his heart jump in anticipation and pleasure.
“Heck no. That little vodka didn’t even make me feel any buzz.” She protested. Drinking had helped lower her inhibitions, and now that she had the idea of Sesshoumaru working his lips against hers, there was nothing she wanted more than tasting him.
“Come on don’t tell me you’ve never wondered how'd be between us. We’re on location, no one knows us here. Plus no one back home will know, so you can admit it.” Following her words Sesshoumaru sent her a nasty glare, to which she answered by simply chuckling.
“Fine fine. If you don’t follow up on the dare, then you’ve got to pick truth.” She caved in, still not giving up on her previous idea. She did know that she had exaggerated about her sobriety earlier on. ‘I can’t help but think that had I not downed all that alcohol, I never would have been brave enough to make such a suggestion to Sesshoumaru… as delectable as it might be.’
The more she thought about it, and the more she liked her idea of having a one night stand with Sesshoumaru.
'It started off as teasing as I really wanted to make him feel uncomfortable, but spending a night with Sesshoumaru, no strings attached, that could be fun.. I haven’t been with a man in… I don’t know how long, and who else better than Sesshoumaru to have a night of pure fun with? It’s not like we could ever fall in love...' The young woman thought tilting her head to the side in what she knew was a seductive posture. She puffed up her chest, giving the young man a view of the plunging neckline of her sheer sleeping gown. She then uncrossed her legs, and sat back on the bed, arching her back and emphasizing her curves.
“You are so childish.” He muttered, just as his eyes locked on her delectable lips. ‘Something tells me if I don’t give in she won’t let me get any sleep.’
“Fine truth then.” He breathed out sure he would regret his decision. Although he felt it was a better alternative to giving in and kissing her. Ever since she had dared him to, his mind could not help but wander to the possibility. How would her lips taste, would they be soft? Would they still taste like the strawberry lips gloss she had worn earlier in the day.
“Have you ever fantasized about me?” She murmured seductively.
“Kagura.” He warned her.
“What? Come on it’s just a harmless question. Answer it.” She gently moistened her lower lips by running her tongue over it. She grinned when she saw his golden eyes follow the movement of her tongue avidly.
“I will not answer this ridiculous question.” He sighed. By sheer will, he averted his gaze from the temptress to the white wall behind her. Unfortunately for him not looking at Kagura was not helping calm down the boiling hot sensation running throughout his body.
“I guess that’s a yes. You know I’ve been thinking. I’m gorgeous, you’re kind of hot, and we’re both stuck in the same hotel room for the weekend…” She trailed off seductively.
“Whatever happened to the witch who could not stand a demon such as myself?” He asked. He purposely employed the hated nickname she had come up with for him, hoping to put the usual distance between them, but it was not working. He could tell where her words were getting to, and it made something stir inside of him.
“Well the poor witch realized she hasn’t slept with a man in more than three years, and that her last boyfriend got married.” Kagura admitted, her bright red eyes moving away from Sesshoumaru. She was not sure how he would react to her words, and feared seeing pity. ‘I can’t believe I actually told him of all people about my sex life… or rather lack of. Maybe downing that vodka wasn’t such a good idea after all.’ Even if she had denied it earlier, Kagura could feel her previous inhibitions had been thrown out the door, and was pretty certain the alcohol had had something to do with it.
“Am I supposed to be some sort of belated rebound guy?” He raised an eyebrow in surprise.
“Nope you’re a one night stand; it’s different.” She could not help but correct him.
“You do realize it will complicate everything between us?” He said more to himself than her. Now that the possibility was presented to him, even though he knew he probably should not, he desired Kagura. He wanted her like he had never wanted a woman in his life before.
“So what? Not like our relationship is that nice and professional to begin with.”
“So be it.” He growled just as he launched himself towards her. He managed to get to her quickly as she was unprepared, his lips fastened to hers catching her gasp of surprise.
It however took her no time to recover as she gave into the feeling of his warm lips working against hers. Feeling his moist tongue travel her lower lip she gave in and opened her mouth, accepting his deep kiss.
Despite his earlier uncertainty and protest, Sesshoumaru decided that if he was to be with Kagura, he would enjoy it greatly and make it as unforgettable as he could for the both of them.
‘It after all is only one night together, nothing more…’ He thought to himself as he entwined his tongue with hers. Ignoring the feeling of sadness growing inside him, he decided to focus on the woman in his arms. Not one to waste time, Sesshoumaru pushed Kagura back until she was sprawled on the bed, him hovering over her. She was impressed that he had managed to do so without breaking up their deep kiss.
Wanting some much needed air, the young man broke their lip lock. Kagura breathed deeply before pressing gentle kisses all over his neck. He trailed his hand down her curves, took the time to appreciatively cup her right breast giving it a firm squeeze, promising himself to come back to it before going down the length of her legs and thighs. He raised an eyebrow when to his delight his roaming fingers came upon a surprise; she was not wearing any underwear.
“You really are a witch.” He growled against the skin of her neck after he bent down to give her skin a small punitive bite. He repressed a groan when he remembered that she had shamelessly bent and uncrossed her legs in front of him earlier.
“I told you I get warm at night.” She moaned when his fingers gently brushed against the sensitive skin of her womanhood. He applied pressure on the skin of her inner thigh, and she dutifully parted her legs for him, granting his fingers access to the most sensitive part of her. She bit her lower lip to force back a cry when he mercilessly started toying with her hidden jewel. Once she moistened enough, he gently inserted two fingers into her, causing a gasp of pleasure to escape her throat. He gathered she was close when she let out a loud keen cry, and he smirked evilly.
“No not yet.” He chastised her as he quickly removed his two fingers from her warm channel. He had felt the first tremors of her orgasm, and did not want her to reach it yet. In fact he only wanted her to climax at the same time he would, with him buried deep inside her. He ignored the pain in his shoulder where she had dug her sharp nails, and did not deviate from his course.
“You are a demon!” She seethed disappointed and starving for her release. She had not been with a man for a long time, and being denied what she wanted the most at the moment felt like torture. Being as close to it as she had just been did not help matters either.
He ignored her outburst, and as much as he hated the idea to sever their skin to skin connection, he briefly leaned away from her in order to slip off his shirt. Being greeted by the naked skin of his chest, Kagura wasted no time returning his earlier caresses by pressing little kisses over the pale skin presented to her gaze. He growled softly when she gently bit one of his nipples. He was aware neither of them would be able to achieve the great pleasure they wanted, so decided to move things along. Reluctantly he sat up on his knees.
Once she felt Sesshoumaru get away from her, Kagura decided to turn the tables on him. She would be damned if she let her arrogant co-worker leave her to suffer of burning desire alone. As his hand plunged in the back pocket of his pants in search of something, the young woman sitting between his legs unbuttoned his pants and went looking for something to play with. Just as he was going to reach for his wallet where he knew he could find a condom, a delightful feeling started running through him; the reason being Kagura’s warm hand which was now attached to his length. The young woman smiled gently when she noticed that his usually cold eyes looked slightly unfocused. Since he hid it well, only someone who knew the silver haired man as much as she did would realize how affected he was. Seeing the great effect she had on him made her increase the steady pace she worked him with her soft hand. After all one was not able to be in control of the almighty Sesshoumaru Tashio very often.
Just when she felt him trembling under her hand, Kagura relinquished the hold she had on him, stopping her gentle caresses. The action caused her soon to be lover to send her a murderous glare.
‘Ah so he doesn’t like having a taste of his own medicine…’ She thought gleefully not even bothering to mask her clear pleasure. Instead of bothering arguing with Kagura due to her annoying behavior, Sesshoumaru removed his pants and underwear. He had moved so quickly that for a second she wondered if he truly had some youkai blood in him.
After placing on the protection, he laid his larger body over hers, placing himself in between her splayed legs. She was surprised that he had not taken the time to remove her nightgown, but decided not to complain. So far he had done a marvelous job pleasuring her, and she had no reason to doubt he would again. She gently pushed away some of his long silver hair out of his face to reveal his beautiful visage. She then raised her head to press a kiss to his lips, which he returned eagerly.
Once their lips parted, the first thing Sesshoumaru did was to press a kiss to her left breast while his left hand reached up to gently massage her other mound. The fact that she could only feel his soft lips and gentle touches through the material of her gown only made the whole thing more erotic to her.
Eager to get some much needed relief he decided to skip directly to the main event. Since she had admitted how long it had been since she had last been with a man, he buried himself slowly and carefully inside her. The last thing he wanted was to hurt her in any ways.
“Hum Sesshoumaru.” She moaned softly once he was fully sheathed inside her. She reached up to grab a fistful of his long silver locks bringing his face closer to hers for a deep kiss. Without separating their lips, he started thrusting. Slowly, then faster. Not willing to lie there like a piece of dead wood while he made love to her, she raised her legs, and fastened them around his waist. She followed his movements and raised her hips to meet his thrusts.
Willing to show her how appreciative he was of her help, he started moving even faster. He reached down to press kisses against the soft skin of her throat, causing delicious shivers to run down her spine. She had never realized until now how sensitive this part of her body was. He then gently trailed his hand up her leg before stopping at the juncture of her thighs where his fingers went to toy with her hidden jewel.
He had barely touched her pleasure button that she shuddered violently with pleasure. She was slightly embarrassed to see how quickly she had climaxed, but since she could feel a proud smirk developing on his lips against the skin of her neck, she was sure he didn’t mind. It didn’t take him long to join her in bliss now that he was free to focus on his own pleasure. She felt him stiffen over her, and removed her legs from his hips.
After taking the time to place a lingering soft kiss to Kagura’s swollen lips, Sesshoumaru left her warmth, causing a pleasurable shiver to run through her again. He quickly stepped off the bed and into the adjacent bathroom they were supposed to be sharing. She heard him flush the toilet and guessed he had went to discard the condom they had used.
She did not say a word when he reappeared in all his naked glory, not even seemingly minding being completely unclothed, or that the lights were all on. Despite her best efforts she could not help but observe him hungrily.
“So… three years?” His words were enough to bring a bright red blush to her cheeks. She picked a small pillow from the pile placed at the head of the bed, and buried her head in it before groaning loudly in frustration. After venting her emotions, she pushed the soft cushion away. She would be damned before she let him embarrass her; especially after what they had shared.
“I knew I shouldn’t have told you anything you jerk!” Even as she tried putting her tough façade back on, she could feel her insides crumbling. Her old insecurities were coming back with a vengeance, and she could not help but wonder if she had somehow failed to please her co-worker. After Kouga had cheated on her with Ayame, she had done some soul searching, and wondered for a long time what was wrong with her. She had come to the conclusion that she must have failed to pleasure him in bed.
He observed her thoughtfully, his golden eyes causing her to be even move unnerved. She was about to snap at him as she usually did, but he intervened before she did.
“Kouga is a fool.” Sesshoumaru’s simple declaration brought a small smile to appear on her lips. She was touched when her new lover handed her a moist warm towel; none of the men she had ever been with had been this thoughtful. She quickly cleaned herself then tossed it to the side.
He settled back on the small bed next to her. He figured it was a good thing that Kagura was this thin otherwise they would definitely not have been able to fit together on the bed, which was of course intended for one person. Even now it was impossible for the two of them to lie down without having skin contact, not that either of them minded much.
He then placed his arm over his sweaty forehead, trying to clear his mind from the unusual feelings raging inside him. He really had never thought he one day would be sharing a bed with Kagura, and had not expected to enjoy it this much.
“We do have a problem.”
“Oh here we go! You don't even have your strength back and you're going to give me the 'it was a mistake speech'?” She frowned at him, hurt and anger clear in her voice. She tried to push herself as far away from him as the small bed allowed.
“Do not be foolish.” He extended his arm to seize her and bring her closer to his side. “Before taking a decision this Sesshoumaru always thinks. This is why I never regret anything I do. No, the problem I was referring to was that I only had my emergency condom on me. I had no idea our trip would develop in such a way.”
‘Had I known I certainly would have bought an entire box…or maybe two.’ He thought to himself. Even though he had mocked Kagura earlier for the long dry spell she had just gone through, he himself had not shared his bed with anyone in a while. Sesshoumaru had always been very mindful and discerning of who he chose as a lover. The woman had to fulfill two important criteria: she must not develop any feelings towards him as he had no need of it, and the woman had not to be an impediment to his career. He frowned when he realized that Kagura did not pass the second criteria. What upset him the most was the fact that he did not care that she was so wrong for him.
“Emergency?” She echoed. “I was an emergency? I don't know if I should be amused, offended, or proud.” Despite her words a note of pleasure was clearly discernable in her voice.
“If I were you I would go for the latest. Not many women have been in my arms.” He observed as he turned to his side to look at the woman lying next to him. He could not help himself from tenderly running a hand down her curves. He possessively rested his limb on her hip, still enclosed by her red gown. His golden eyes roamed over her, taking in the delicious sight as he promised himself that the next time he made love to her, and there would be one, he would make sure to finish undressing her. He did want to see her completely naked.
“Lucky me.” She scoffed, even if she could feel a warm fluttering in her chest. She was all too aware that he was being honest. In truth she had seen many women, notably their coworkers Touran and Yura, regularly throw themselves at Sesshoumaru, only to be ignored.
To Kagura's surprise, Sesshoumaru suddenly stood up and reached for the clothes he had carelessly thrown to the ground before getting in bed with her.
“Where are you going?” She asked him her crimson eyes following him as he put his shoes on. Seeing him dressed made her feel self conscious, so she hiked the bed covers up to hide her semi nudity.
He took the time to fasten his shirt completely before answering her “I saw a pharmacy when we were on our way to the hotel. It is just a few minutes away and I think that it was open 24 hours a day.”
“What could you possibly want to buy at this time of the night?...” She asked him. As soon as the words left her mouth, she could have smacked herself. 'Duh as if he hasn't just told you. Get a grip girl.' She scolded herself. Her cheeks had suddenly flamed red.
“Don't fall asleep yet.” He simply threw over his shoulder as he left their bedroom.
“I guess the night is far from over.” The young journalist smiled to herself as she gently smoothed the hair which had escaped from her bun back in place, eagerly waiting for her new lover to come back.
0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 00000000000000000
As Sesshoumaru walked back to their hotel room, the object of his errand cradled in his arms, he could not prevent a smile from appearing on his lips. As much as he had never expected to become Kagura’s lover, the one thing which surprised him the most was that he had tremendously enjoyed himself with her, more than he would probably ever admit it to the young woman. While he was out, his brain actively worked on coming up with a way for them to carry out their little affair even after they had gone back to their lives at Shikon Magazine.
‘I fail to see why we would not be able to work and play at the same time.’ His joyful mood was soon to turn sour when he was greeted in their bedroom by a deeply sleeping, and slightly snoring Kagura. She was sprawled over the bed, one of her bare breasts peeking from under her twisted nightgown.
“You insufferable little witch.” He muttered to himself even if a smile appeared on his lips. Instead of waking her up, the young man dressed in his pajamas then carefully pushed her slightly to make himself some space. He lay down next to her, and slid under the covers.
Even as in her sleep she unconsciously rearranged herself around his body, placing her head on his shoulder, and entwining her legs with his, he reflected on their situation.
‘Let’s just hope she doesn’t turn into a raving madwoman when she sobers up tomorrow…’
To be continued…
A/N: OOC? Yep, but the lemony goodness is just starting. Hum the two have come closer, we’ll see how things will turn out. The next one’s going to be called After Hours.
